Nikolas Schriefer, CEO, Stagelink

Midem and Midemlab helped us to improve our contact network in the music industry and clearly defining our spot in the music ecosystem. On top of this, winning Midemlab’s startup competition was a turning point event for MIND Music Labs: it gave us the industry validation we were waiting for and opened-up several important doors for us.

Michele Benincaso, CEO & Founder, Mind Music Labs (Sweden)

Midemlab was a great opportunity to network with people at the intersection of music and technology and an excellent place to raise awareness of Songkick in the traditional music industry.

Ian Hogarth, Co-Founder & CEO, Songkick.com (UK)

We believe that the recognition that we get from Midemlab as an early-stage startup will help us in our current goal of fundraising
